Live from Nagasaki

At the epicenter of the nuclear bombing, first thoughts from the ceremony

Friends,

This week I want you to see and hear all that is happening in Nagasaki, as we commemorate the day 81 years ago when a US nuclear weapon killed 74,000 and injured another 75,000 in an instant, out of a city of 240,000.

A first installment recorded yesterday, right after the close of the ceremony. Much more to come. Stay tuned.
